ABOUT PRODUCTID 11584
This sugar bowl from the 1930s, produced by the Szandrik manufactory in Hungary, features a design inspired by organic plant forms. The body, made of silver-plated brass, takes the shape of a pear set on a rosette-shaped base of leaves with pronounced veins and a gently textured surface. The lid continues the vessel’s fluid silhouette and is topped with a cylindrical stem. The surface, matte to semi-matte, displays a deep, muted silver tone with cool highlights and subtle golden-bronze areas where wear reveals the underlying brass. The style bridges the organic qualities of late Art Nouveau with the balance and simplicity of early Central European Art Deco. Construction is solid, with perfectly matched components and no visible modern fittings. The piece is preserved in very good condition: only minor scratches, occasional patina spots, and minimal tarnish, without major damages or repairs.This sugar bowl echoes the voice of interwar Mitteleuropa: its silvery skin gently reflects light, evoking rituals of past gatherings where nature and craftsmanship met in everyday objects. The leaf detail at the base speaks to the fascination with botanical motifs that inspired designers of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods; the matte finish softens the gaze, while the pear-shaped body highlights the period’s affinity for fluid forms. Subtle patina and golden highlights reveal a narrative of use, conferring a sense of authenticity unique to vintage pieces.The sugar bowl can be paired with porcelain tableware from the 1920s or 1930s, cut glass, and simple silver cutlery on a white tablecloth to emphasize its historical references. It also fits well in eclectic arrangements—as
